    Verse 1
    [Hook: 

    Shinedown Sample] 

    I feel like 
    there is 
    no 
    need 

    for 
    conversation 

    I 
    wonder 
    if the 
    things I did 

    were 
    just 
    to 
    be 
    dif
    ferent 

    I 
    would 
    rather reveal 
    myself 

    than my 
    situation 

    I wonder 
    if the 
    things 
    I did 
    were 
    just 

    to 
    be 
    different 

    [Verse 1: Joe 
    Budden] 
    (Going... going... 
    gone) 

    Verse 2
    Look, 
    look, look... 


    See, I don't 
    trus' no 
    one 

    (talk to 
    'em) 

    So stubborn 
    - 

    I 
    could dream 
    a thousand 
    paths, 

    wake-up an' 
    walk walk 
    a ol' 
    one. 

    (Why?) An' I 
    follow 
    wherever 
    it 
    take 
    me 

    Insteada' wherever 
    the crew 

    go 
    like 
    Traylee. 

    They see 
    distinguished 

    I see 
    a nigga 
    eras
    in' 
    that fine 
    line 

    between 
    crazy 
    an' genius. 

    Got 
    the jewels 
    out, 

    see 
    'em on 
    my Colorado 
    shit 
    (but...) 

    I'd rather 
    put 
    the suit 
    on 
    an' not 

    follow 
    it. 
    (Look) 

    Ay'thing is 
    perception, 

    (I mean...) ay'thing is 
    deception 
    (but...) 

    When niggas 
    fuck 
    wit' 
    'em 'cause 

    I be 
    the exception 

    (Look) I got 
    a warm 
    reception 

    way before 
    any song 
    hit 

    I think 
    too 
    outside 
    of the 
    box 

    ta' be 
    cornered 

    (I'm) Too 
    real ta' 
    be fickle 

    Grounded, 
    but too 
    fly 
    ta' meet 

    a nigga 
    in 
    the middle 

    Too 
    big 
    ta' be 
    belittled. 

    Wise 
    way 
    beyond 
    my years, 

    here's 
    the motto 
    of 
    a 
    manchild: 

    Why try 
    ta' fit 
    in 
    when you 
    a 
    standout? 

    [Hook: Shinedown Sample] 
    I feel like 
    there is no 
    need for 

    Verse 3

    conversation 

    I 
    wonder 
    if the 
    things 
    I did 

    were 
    just 
    to 
    be different 

    I 
    would rather 
    reveal 

    myself 
    than my 
    situation 

    I 
    wonder 
    if the 
    things 
    I did were 
    just 

    to be different 

    [Verse 2: Joe 
    Budden] 
    Uh, you in that 
    mood 
    yet? 

    Verse 4
    Why 

    not? 

    Look... 

    They said 
    I had 
    ta' make 
    music 
    that 
    would have 

    the kid
    s 
    feinin' 

    Screamin', make nuttin' 

    wit' 
    a meanin' 

    (But..) I 
    ain't know 
    the meanin'. 

    They told 
    me go 
    Hollywood 

    For 
    a split-second 
    thought 

    thought 
    I 
    prolly' could 

    But 
    pollee on, would I 

    be understood? 

    Tol' me even 
    if 
    you not 
    able 

    ta' cop 
    cable 

    Ay'time you hit 
    the club 

    you better 
    have 
    a table. 

    Tol' me they 
    would take 

    me 
    out my worse 

    Tol' me 
    "image 
    is everything" 


    (So I...) Tol' 'em I'd 
    obey 

    my 
    thirst 
    (whoa!) 

    Tol' me do 
    what'chu gotta 

    or what'chu on 

    Hit 
    the scene, 
    make 
    it rain 
    - 

    I told 
    'em I'm 
    already 
    in 
    the storm. 


    Ay'thing's in an uproar 
    (whoa) 

    They 
    tol' me front, 

    I 
    said what 
    for? (I mean 
    whoa) 

    Said 
    it again, 
    I said, 
    fuck 
    y'all! 

    I won't 
    succumb 
    to all 
    the stereotypes 

    Won't 
    sacrifice 
    me 
    for what 

    the 
    stereo 
    hypes. 

    They 
    tol' me get 
    in where 
    you fit 
    in 
    - 

    This 
    is what's 
    in 
    demand 
    now 

    (So I...) Tol 
    'em why 
    try 
    ta' fit 
    in 
    when you 

    a stand 
    out? 

    [Hook: Shinedown Sample] 
    I feel like 
    there is no 
    need 

    Verse 5
    for 

    conver
    sation 

    I 
    wonder 
    if the 
    things I did 

    were 
    just 
    to 
    be dif
    ferent 

    I 
    would rather 
    reveal 
    myself 

    than my 
    situation 

    I wonder 
    if the 
    things I did 
    were 
    just 

    to 
    be different 

    [Verse 3: Joe 
    Budden] 
    Naw'mean? 

    Yo... 

    Verse 6
    I understand 
    some's 

    off 
    'bout 
    me, 

    but 
    nuttin's forced 
    'bout 
    me 

    I never 
    gave 
    a fuck 
    of what 
    a nigga 

    thought 
    'bout 
    me. 

    (Oh!) I look 
    down 
    upon 
    what 

    some see 
    as 
    a must 

    Maybe 
    I'm regular 
    an' the 

    World 
    needs to 
    adjust. 

    I mean 
    I'm everyday 
    people, 

    hood, 
    but still 
    formal 

    I'm 
    normally 
    abnormal, 

    tak
    in' life 
    as 
    a lesson. 

    I'll leave 
    the past 
    in 
    the past, 

    Tomorrow's 
    not 
    promised 

    An' 
    Today's 
    just 
    a gift, 

    I guess 
    that's 
    why it's 
    the present. 

    Did 
    I outgrow 
    me 
    or 
    shit 
    jus' didn't 
    stick 

    The 
    baggier my jeans, 

    the 
    more 
    shit didn't 
    fit. 

    (But I!) Did
    n't quit, 
    inspired 
    by 
    hate, 

    even 
    wit' homeless 

    When you 
    a star 
    you 
    already 
    down 

    wit' 
    The Joneses. 

    My thoughts 
    outloud - (I mean...) 


    Sometimes if 
    the leader 
    walk

    s slow 
    enough, 

    he fuck 
    aroun' gets 
    lost 
    in 
    the crowd 

    But he 
    ain't gotta 
    speed-up, 

    ay'thing'll 
    plan 
    out 
    (why?) 

    'Cause they'll 
    spot'chu from 
    far 
    when 
    you 
    a 

    standout. 

    Verse 7
    [Hook x2: Shinedown Sample] 
    I feel 
    like 
    there 
    is 
    no 

    need 

    for 
    conversation 

    I 
    wonder 
    if 
    the 
    things 
    I 
    did 
    were 

    just 
    to 
    be dif
    ferent 

    I 
    would 
    rather 
    reveal 
    myself 
    than 
    my 




    situation 

    I 
    wonder 
    if 
    the 
    things 
    I 
    did 
    were 
    just 

    to 
    be 
    different

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      "

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
